Niseko

Located in snow-blessed Hokkaido, Niseko-Hirafu is regarded as one of Japan's premier powder resorts. Affected by weather fronts that travel across the sea from the Siberian desert, Niseko's snow quality is world class. The resort overlooks the stunning volcano Mt Yotei, and offers glimpses of the Sea of Japan. With gondola and lifts that come down right into the village, Niseko-Hirafu is lots of fun. All restaurants, shops and cafes are located minutes walk from your accommodation, and the locals are relaxed and friendly.
